Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cell and Platelet Microparticle Impact on Platelet Activation in Hypertension Associated with Hypercholesterolemia
Figure 3
Representative immunoblots and quantification by densitometric analysis for pro-inflammatory molecules released by platelets isolated from the hamsters groups: control (C), hypertensive-hypercholesterolemic (HH), prevention (HHin-EPCs), regression (HHfin-EPCs), HH treated with PMPs (HH-PMPs) and HH treated with EPCs and PMPs (HH-EPCs-PMPs).
(A): SDF-1, RANTES, MCP-1, β- actin, (B): Il-6, Il-1β, β- actin. (*) Groups vs Control: p≤0.05. (**) Groups vs HH: p≤0.05.
